The Best Indian & International Celebrity Makeup Brands That You Need To Shop From!

The Best Indian & International Celebrity Makeup Brands That You Need To Shop From!

For some celebrities, getting into the beauty business after a successful fashion, singing and acting career, is a natural move. There are two ways celebrities make a niche for themselves in the beauty industry – they either collaborate with other beauty giants to launch their own makeup line or independently start their own beauty business. Since they already have a large fan following, most of their beauty products sell like hotcakes as soon as they launch. 

Take Kylie Cosmetics, for instance, every beauty maven has heard of Kylie Jenner’s makeup brand and her popular lip kits. In fact, as soon as they launched, they got sold out in minutes! Fans who idolise these stars are the first in line to get their hands on the beauty products. That’s the power of having a celeb’s face or name branded on the product’s packaging! Each product created and named by a star becomes a collectable and an extension of that star’s personality. To a hardcore fan, it’s more precious than gold. Over the past few years, many celebrities, be it from India or overseas, have gotten into the beauty business and have become successful entrepreneurs overnight. If you haven’t seen these celebrity makeup brands yet, we’ll introduce you to them.
